Democratic candidate Richard Carmona’s campaign pushed back Friday against a brutal ad from his opponent, Republican Rep. Jeff Flake, that said the former U.S. surgeon general has anger management problems. The Carmona campaign called the ad “bull$#!%.”

A fundraising e-mail sent out by Carmona’s campaign made use of the symbols, like old comic books used to employ, to cover up the full curse word:

Multiple media outlets have called Congressman Flake’s recent decision to air a false, highly discredited attack on television “ruthless” saying Flake’s personal attacks on Rich “began as Carmona appeared to gain momentum in the Republican leaning state.”

In other words, his attack is bull$#!%.

So today, we’re fighting back – and fighting back hard with our own ad.
